Abstract
Ilulissat, en lille by, modtager flere turister. Denne vækst giver både gevinster og pres: den påvirker miljøet, økonomien og hverdagslivet. Specialet foreslår at bruge FN’s Verdensmål 11—Bæredygtige byer og lokalsamfund—som en praktisk ramme. Verdensmål 11 sætter mål for at gøre byer og lokalsamfund inkluderende, sikre, robuste og bæredygtige. At anvende disse retningslinjer kan hjælpe med at balancere turisme med beskyttelse af miljø og kulturarv, samtidig med at økonomien udvikles og livskvaliteten for beboerne forbedres.
Ilulissat, a small town, is receiving more visitors. This growth brings both benefits and pressures: it affects the local environment, the economy, and everyday life. The thesis suggests using the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11—Sustainable Cities and Communities—as a practical framework. SDG 11 sets goals to make towns inclusive, safe, resilient, and sustainable. Applying these guidelines can help balance tourism with protection of the environment and cultural heritage, while supporting economic development and improving residents’ quality of life.
